What happened to "our government"?

The 9/11 Truth Movement has been yelling from the housetops to the citizens of this once great nation! We are mired in the swamp of Iraq and Afghanistan because the Bush administration claimed that radical Moslems attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Just who did the attacks?
Before you make any judgments, consider the following facts. Provable facts!

1) Every picture and film of the second plane that hit the second tower showed that there was a pod on the bottom of that plane. Look in Newsweek, Time, etc. The pictures show a pod as plain as day. No commercial airliner has a pod on the bottom. Some military planes have pods and they generally contain guidance systems. Why is the government and press not asking the necessary questions? Why the silence?

2) Building 7 was brought down with explosives placed in the structure of the building weeks before the 9/11 attacks.
